It probably will; I expect that was the idea. However, this series has had a long history of half-assing stuff during broadcast and trying to fix it on blu-ray. Yes, I realize that encourages sales, but bleh.

I really enjoyed this episode as it brought back a lot of what I love about this series (besides senjougahara). The shots were great, the dialogue was awesome, it was funny without being corny or overdone, and it oozed style.

I agree that as a whole Bake was hand over fist better than Nise, but I really did enjoy Nise and I can't wait to see Kizu even if it means no Senjougahara. Hopefully they really do follow through and do the rest of the novels, that would be awesome. Definitely one of the best series I've seen in a long long time.

Fakes, reals ... the main thing that stood out for me was Shinobu having a teenage body now, which brings me a few episodes back to her inviting Araragi to massage her chest, and him lamenting the fact she didn't do so while in adult form. Too bad Araragi was so beat up he has yet to catch on to the new "perspectives" that Shinobu's new form has opened up. Obviously the most important development of the arc, considering everything else pretty much ends up maintaining status quo

I reckon they should of shown the fight between the Yotsugi girl and Shinobu :c

I agree with you, but it would have been very much like Shaft to impose the SFX of Aranagi's fight over that battle were it to be animated....

Which actually might be fun- we know that Aranagi's getting thrashed from the sound alone, but we know that the battle down-stairs is going the other way around. And furthermore, the longer the Aranagi persist (and he can persist forever, so long as he wishes to), the greater the chance that Yotsugi would be permanently smashed out of commission....

It's really disappointing, at least to me, that everything that lead up to episode 11 painted Araragi as an unmitigated serial sexual harasser, because the kiss with Tsukihi should really left me shocked and sputtering just like it left her. Instead, I just sighed and thought "Yeah, I guess that's pretty much what he'd do if he came across a defenseless, unresponsive underage girl."

One could say it is the opposite. The kiss scene would be too unnatural if Araragi did it out of the blue. It's exactly because there were similar precedents that Araragi could kiss Tsukihi on a whim.

I do wonder how good Araragi is when he's actually serious. I don't think we've ever seen him get serious and he's always a straight up punching bag. I mean I don't want choreographed fights all the time but atleast show him to be competent if he is.

I also kinda hate how everything seems to be resolved with words. I was hoping the exorcist was going to take a hardline thus forcing Araragi to get serious to protect his sister.

I did laugh at his 'you treated me like a human being' after she beat him to a point where any human on earth would be dead.

Couldn't you just let Hitagi fans have their moments without you making unncessary comments here and there (you've made it perfectly clear that she's not your favorite). You can't even let that pass you even if it's the last episode !!! One of the reasons why I don't even post in this sub-forum anymore is because couple worshipping annoyances. When Kizu movie comes (which is probably one of the best of all Monogatari series) all you Shinobu/Hanekawa fans will have your time in the spotlight.

Awesome episode. Not an epic finale people would love to see, but an excellent ending in its own way. We got to see Shinobu in her more grown up form, somewhat intellectual dialogue which we all missed from Bakemonogatari and Tsukihi finally showing her dere side.
